Todd Cochrane spoke to Christopher Yang from Vivitek about their newest product the Qumi that uses the Pico Projector. The system can project 3D, which you can watch with active 3D glasses, or 2D up to 720P. It uses the Texas Instrument DLP processor with an HD chip set. A full projector with an LED bulb will give off from 800-1000 lumens.

This projector gives off 300 lumens and has a 2500:1 contrast ratio. It is not meant to replace a full projector, it is a great travel projector. It has a VGA, HDMI Connections, USB port, micro SD Card Input and audio-out. You can connect it to a camera, smart phone or laptop. It should be available in April or May time frame for about $499.00

If you have a USB external drive and not backing up your data from it, you are putting your data at risk. A USB hard drive could crash just as easily as a Notebook or Desktop hard drive – if not, faster.

PopDrive has another solution. Dual drives in a RAID 0 configuration. One drive collects and the other drive mirrors. That way if the first drive breaks down, the other one takes over.

PopDrive is a drive that can work with USB 2.0 or eSATA. It takes 2 – 2.5 inch drives and transfer up to 3GB/s (eSATA). The drives mirror when connected to the PC or Mac.

Perfect for home or office, this drive could be a great asset to hold data for clients. It’s size makes it perfect for those who have portable offices.
